It's been a Premier League season packed with drama from start to finish -- and now it's finally over.
Arsenal ended a 22-year wait to be champions, Tottenham Hotspur escaped relegation, West Ham United dropped to the Championship after 14 years in the Premier League, and Sunderland shocked everyone by reaching Europe. Pep Guardiola bade an emotional farewell to Manchester City, where a stand has been named after him, and Mohamed Salah said a tearful goodbye to Liverpool.
The season delivered plenty of memorable moments, but who were the best players of the campaign and who will want to forget all about it?
BEST XI
Here's my team of the year in a 4-3-1-2 formation.
GK, David Raya (Arsenal): Now a three-time Golden Glove winner for most clean sheets, Raya was outstanding, making all the saves you would expect and a few which he had no right to keep out -- for example, his vital save from Mateus Fernandes in the pivotal win at West Ham United when the score was 0-0.
RB, Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool): The best player by far in a very disappointing season at Anfield. His long-range free kicks against Arsenal and Manchester City were exceptional. While not technically a right back, Szoboszlai filled that role plenty of times, and I would be remiss in not finding a way to include him in the team of the season.
CB, William Saliba (Arsenal): Quick and alert, Saliba is the ideal foil for Gabriel in the league's best defense. Arsenal gave him a long education out on loan in France from 2019 to 2022, and now the Gunners are reaping the rewards of having a world-class center back.
